is it hard for a japanese girl to be an american amry nurse?

Question

im not even a nurse in japan

Answer 1

To clarify, US Army Nurses must have a degree (BSN) from an NLN accredited college. My wife and about a dozen of her friends have made many many many phone calls to join the Army as Nurses (they are Asian). However the US Military discriminates against Asians ethnicities. Let me explain my statement:

In order to join you must have attended a college and passed a degree in Nursing with a bachelors degree. Foreign trained nurses, nurses who were trained in foreign colleges can be licensed in the US through state licensing. This usually requires having the Nursing School credit reviewed by a accrediting body such as CGFNS. Then the nurse must also pass NCLEX national examination for RNs, and meet all state requirements, and the many fees that add up. Many nurses must also pass TOEFL or TOEIC English tests.

To join the Army as a Nurse Corps Officer, a foreign trained nurse would have to meet all of these requirements and be a US Citizen.

So how do you keep foreign nurses from woking in the US military? How do you discrminate without appearing as though you are? Simple, the US military requires nurses have received their degree from a college that belongs to the NLN (National Legue of Nursing). The NLN is an association, it's a professional group that requires dues to be a member. And it's a American professional group. Yes, the Philippines has their own version, and many countries have assocations groups for different professions. But the US military requires a foreign trained nurse (like my wife attended 17 years ago), have NLN college.

This is nearly impossible. First, it is not a requirement recognized by states. Second it is a requirment normally only ahieved by American colleges (which is why it's required to discrminate). Now some foreign schools today do offer NLN accredidation, but only relatively recently for the most part.

To be a Japanese girl in the American Army you would have to face discrimination to join, and discrimination once you are in. I served nearly 20 years so far in the military, and I realize now I rarely served with an Asian Nurse, and when I did they were trained in the US only. Those I did serve with were usually treated badly by their peers in nursing. As if the other nurses were jealous of them.

But it reads like you might be a US citizen seeking to go to Nursing school and join the Army. In that case, you'll find the Nurse corps to be rewarding, but potentially cut throat.

Answer 2

Actually if you get into a school in the States the Military will pay for your training before you listen to any of us though look into it. Military Nurses are possibly the only Angles on even our modern battle fields it’s a truly noble profession. Although, it is also dangerous but don’t worry about not having a citizenship you don’t always need one to be in the military.

Answer 3

All Military Nurses are Officers, and as such must be American Citizens. Additionally, they must have a BSN( 4 year degree) from a US accredited college.

So yes, It can be difficult.

Answer 4

Nope, if you can qualify for the training program and meet all the other conditions for service with the American Armed Forces.
